Deactivated Arisaka Type 30 Carbine

Deactivated Very Rare Japanese Arisaka Type 30 6.5mm Carbine in excellent overall deactivated condition, with chrysanthemum and full markings intact. The Arisaka Type 30 Carbine entered service in 1899 and was used until the end of WWII. Only 45,000 were made. The Arisaka was the main battle rifle of the imperial Japanese forces and was used in Mongolia and China, as well as fighting the allies during WWII. It was the longest bolt action rifle in service during the war and was nearly as tall as the troops who used it. Post war testing showed that the Type 38 had one of the strongest actions of all the in service rifles at the time. All deactivated weapons sold by D and B Militaria are deactivated in the United Kingdom and hold a London or Birmingham proof mark and certificate stating that the weapon has been deactivated correctly.
